Work in University environment
-
Does anyone here work for a university ???....I wonder how the environment in terms of speed of work etc. is when compared to the industry An acquaintance of mine once told me that one of the perks of working in a higher ed. environment is the laid back attitude...I wonder if that is true for all universities?

Entirely true. If you're looking for an easy pace, refreshing work enviroment, academia is the place. I am sitting in my flame proof buncker, so don't even bother. by the way, perl stinks.

Just like almost everything else, it depends. I worked as a Research Assistant and I can tell you I was as busy as I am. My professor has a lot research going on and yes, there is a deadline as well. Sometimes, a professor needs to write a proposal for obtaining funding. There may be a symposium where you need to submit your paper. And yes, there is office politic at university, haha. But again, it depends on what you would like to do and the environment/culture of the university I suppose.

I work for University sponsored research. The perks are : More time to analyze and study what you want. Deadlines are almost always extendable. No pressure to 'polish' final products More laid back attitude as compared to the industry (I have worked there too) :) "To his dog, every man is Napoleon"

My dad works at the university in town (a state university.) It's not a bad job, but there is an unbelievable amount of bureaocracy and department infighting. They often make decisions seemingly without thinking things through. It can be quite political, and frustrating. But as far as laid back, not much of a dress code, and you get all the cheap labor you can find (read: students) if you're in any kind of academic area. It may be different in private institutions too (that don't rely on the state to give them money.) "Fish and guests stink in three days." - Benjamin Franlkin

Hi there. I work for a university - it's fun, productive, and meaningful work, but I think that has everything to do with the office I'm in and its leadership. I think it's very easy for individual departments to become so focussed on their own functions within the institution that they lose sight of the bigger picture... the right hand not knowing what the left is up to? I can see that as a big challenge for administration in higher ed.
